The Birth of a 'Discipline': From Refugee to Forced Migration Studies

This essay seeks to understand and explain the birth of ForcedMigration Studies. It argues that the turn from Refugee Studiesto Forced Migration Studies must be viewed against the backdropof the history and relationship of colonialism and humanitarianism,as a certain commonality binds the past and present eras. Themove to Forced Migration Studies accompanies the inaugurationof a phase of political humanitarianism with a distinct accent,albeit encapsulated in new forms and issues, on ‘civilizing’the Other. In making this contention the paper distances itselffrom both the defenders and critics of the turn to Forced MigrationStudies. It inter alia contends that Refugee Studies, like ForcedMigration Studies, has served the geopolitics of hegemonic states.But since all knowledge is dual use, both have also had humanitarianeffects. But a greater degree of disciplinary reflexivity wouldgo a long way to ensure that the genuinely humanitarian strandin Forced Migration Studies prevails.     

古田会议研究中的几个问题

本文分析了1929年6月14日毛泽东《给林彪的信》的具体内容,赞同这封信＂是古田会议决议形成的基础＂这一理论观点,同时认为,古田会议后,毛泽东于1930年1月5日给林彪的复信《星星之火,可以燎原》在批评林彪错误的同时,更希望林彪摆脱悲观情绪,增强革命信心。古田会议决议不仅是中国共产党和红军建设的纲领性文献,也是毛泽东中国特色革命道路理论的重要组成部分。

新世纪警学学科体系论纲

世纪之交 ,重新探讨和确立警学学科体系是当代警察实践发展的客观需要 ,是警察科学发展的必然趋势 ,是警学科研和警察教育发展目标的要求。对于警学学科体系 ,可以从认识论、警察基本业务部门、警察科学与其他学科的关系三种角度加以划分。其中 ,警学基础学科也应是一个具有合理结构和功能分工的学科群。在新的世纪 ,警学学科研究要真正实现其对警察教育和警察实践应有的指导推动作用 ,就必须在三个方向上有所突破 ,即从封闭走向开放、从注释走向理性、从滞后走向超前。

The case for a victimology of nonhuman animal harms

For the last twenty years ‘victimology’, the study of crime victims and victimisation has developed markedly. Like its ‘parent’ discipline of criminology, however, very little work has been done in this field around the notion of environmental victimisation. Like criminology itself, victimology has been almost exclusively anthropocentric in its outlook and indeed even more recent discussions of environmental victims – prompted by the development of green criminology – have failed to consider in any depth the victimisation of nonhuman animals. In this paper, we examine the shortfall in provision for and discussions of nonhuman animal victims with reference to Christie’s notion of the ‘ideal victim’ and Boutellier’s concept of the ‘victimalization of morality’. We argue that as victimology has increasingly embraced concepts of victimisation based on ‘social harms’ rather than strict legalistic categorises, its rejection of nonhuman victims from the ambit of study is no longer conceptually or philosophically justified.     

中日文化比较研究的几点思考

中日文化既有相通之处,更有差异。不同的文化背景使这些差异逐渐放大了,在了解日本文化的同时必须着眼于相同点与相异点。日本在模仿中国文化的长期过程中逐步创新,生发出本民族的文化特色。在关注日本文化独特审美情趣时,应该避免将这种独特性绝对化,以历史的、发展的、科学的眼光来研究和探索中日两国的文化与交流。     

西方警察学的研究现状

近期,越来越多的警察学研究者提出创建独立的警察学学科,并在理论界引起了一定的影响。但是,在研究的过程中,有一个问题始终困扰着我们:那就是西方到底有没有警察学,或者说西方的“警察学”研究是建立在一个什么样的基础之上?要了解这一问题,应从西方“警察学”的理论框架、研究机构和人员等方面进行探讨。     

Winning at the polls and in the polls: the incumbency advantage in surveys of U.S. house voters

The success of House incumbents at the polls is well known and has been studied extensively. This paper focuses on the incumbents' success in the polls: the support bestowed upon incumbents by survey respondents is substantially higher than that received from the voters. The incumbency advantage at the polls, estimated at about 10% in the most recent elections, is almost doubled when measured in the polls. The data, drawn from the 1982–1996 National Election Studies, show that respondents do not reward all winners; candidates elected to open seats have not benefitted from the kind of bounce consistently enjoyed by winning incumbents. In addition, the pattern of respondents' misreports appears to be inconsistent with earlier explanations based on instrument effects. Respondent bias should be accounted for in order to reach correct estimates of the incumbency advantage in individual-level data.
